understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
An expressive drawing
I often make drawings. The other day I showed one of them to a jovial, friendly elderly lady.
It is said to be "very expressive" and depicts a thin, bald, rigorous, bitter (?) man with a judgemental look.
While she was watching and commenting it carefully (especially on the scrutinizing, judgemental expression of his face ) blood started flowing from her nose.
"Does this often happen ?" - I asked.
"Practically speaking, never. " - she replied.
